In the Current Where Drowning Is Beautiful by Abigail Chabitnoy
4.0
"Still we are burying women with their mouths closed.
Still we are buying women with our mouths closed.
Still we are missing."
A beautiful and eloquent book filled with poetry using both English and the Alutiiq language. This makes for flowing poems that play with structure, sound, and footnotes. Using imagery of waves and teeth, Chabitnoy creates stunning and breath-taking pieces discussing missing women, land sovereignty, and other meaningful topics in Indigenous communities.
